Kitman 2207 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I hope we stick it to them and send them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I hope we stick it to them and send them down This is what I want also, just so I can piss myself laughing. The way they did when we went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'd prefer Ben Arfa not to play on Thursday and not to start on Sunday. If we brought on Ben Arfa and Shola as a double sub in the second half it would be worth a goal psychologically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4821 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 My team for this would be. Krul Debuchy Taylor. Mbwia. Jonas Sissoko Cabaye HBA. Marveaux. Gouffran Cisse Strong across the back four. Plenty of skill and surging runs from Sissoko and Cabaye. Great hold up and forward play from Marveaux, HBA and Gouffran. Cisse just popping them in for fun. Howay Alan, just once for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hopefully Debuchy and Tiote are also back for it. Perch and HBA as well and it would be a huge boost. No injuries on Thursday would be nice. I'd say Santon is out for the season looking at that yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17642 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 HBA wont start CT, even Pardew will learn from last time. Seemingly not yourself mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think sissoko is likely to play that deep. I don't think cabaye is suited to it either tbh. Would much rather he played a more advanced role.

Dr Gloom 22142 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Agree that jonas impressed at left back though, a good third option in that position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4821 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 HBA wont start CT, even Pardew will learn from last time. Seemingly not yourself mind. Do you mean in Russia? If so Im not sure what the comparison is to playing at St James. If HBA feels right and trains fully all week then I don't see the problem?

ChezGiven 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Jonas is too soft in the tackle to be a first choice defender. Wouldn't trust him defending in the air against aggressive forwards in the box either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17642 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Didnt Jonas have a run at left back before?...started well iirc, then tailed off somewhat...Duff was the same. We need specialists, not bit parters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4821 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well this is a turn up for the books, me defending Jonas. It might not work out but he is a grafter and at times gets stuck in and has out previous decent performances in there. I would prefer him over Santon no problem, however Haidara looks like he's going to be tasty. Would definitely have no worries about Jonas there against the mackems. Talking of which when is over the wall back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4821 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Quite amazing the way you can look forward to Benfica and this game after yesterday's results. Would have been a depressing week otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Bring Shola on for the second half to see their hideous fizzocks fall. I wouldn't risk HBA. Gardner banned so that's their penalty taker gone and Graham questionable due to a knee injury...I'm worried that they're a little too there for the taking and we'll be too confident. Would love to stick a few past them but any kind of a win will do given the circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17642 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Is the Benfica game more important?....given the chance I'd be tempted to make a deal with the devil for this game only...give us a two nowt on Thursday and Sunday won't matter as much...or does it?...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I don't think we are safe from relegation yet so give me the win over the unwashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Fortunately that kind of deal making doesn't exist. Lets win both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
